What do you lot reckon to this?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-MK4-MK5-Jetta-Bora-Passat-Short-Shifter-Quick-/320707422629?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4aaba6e9a5

It looks identical to the Forge one but less than half the price.

 :smiley:

I've had it fitted for 6 months without problem.
One of the best mods I've done to be honest.  The gear change, IMO, was utterly woeful before I had it fitted.

I have this fitted. It didn't push fit over the splines the way the oem one does - I had to use a spanner on the retaining nut to fit it. I will only be able to remove it with a puller tool which I don't possess.

However it doesn't matter as I won't be taking it off, because it's a great mod.

The part number is in this thread off the Skoda forum if you want to confirm with Audi.
